What size is the active area on it?

I have a Wacom Intuos3 A4 tablet. Little bit more pricey at £300 but I couldn't live without it

I might be interested in getting that tesco one for my ibook if it is Mac compatible. Could you look on the box for me =)

Cheers

i tried it on my mac at work just after i bought it, no luck i'm afraid, it's windows only. the active area is only a6 but as it's dirt cheap, and my first tablet...i'm not fussy

thats a pisser

Yeah, £20 is tupidly cheap nad worth getting for a first tablet.

if you intend on using a tablet a lot though invest in a good wacom one. The difference is VERY noticeable.

Get an A6 or A5 graphire 4.

i'm still getting to terms with this one, but i aim to upgrade to a wacom in the next few months. or maybe after, as i plan to buy a canon xl1 camera, which would be quite expensive. i need a higher wage darnit
